Iron Blooded Villain’s Academy Class

Episode 100

A world where everything is made of flame.

Clouds burn in the sky, bubbling magma flows like rivers, and the earth is made of sizzling lava.

It was the spirit realm inhabited by fire spirits.

Yuhwarin waited there for several days. It was to talk to the 2nd tier, Secundo Plama, without going back even after completing the contract with the 3rd tier spirit.

A normal human would never be able to overcome the heat and leave, but she was different.

To her, who was born with an affinity, especially with the spirit of fire, that level of heat was nothing more than pleasant warmth, like an ondol floor in midwinter.

At the end of that wait, she was able to meet the 2nd tier spirit nestled in the volcano.

“Humans are still too greedy.”

These were the words that the spirit in the shape of a huge fire bird gave to Yuhwarin as soon as he saw them.

“Isn’t the contract with Tertio Plama enough? What did you name it?”

When the contract with the spirit ends, the spirit consul assigns another title to the contracted spirit.

It was one of the rituals that gave a new identity to the spirits that were part of a hierarchy.

“They named it Pits.”

Yuyurin glanced back and said. Behind her stood a knight made of yellow flames in moderation.

“yes. Aren’t those fights full of your last name?”

“Nope. Fights are also strong. I am grateful for the contract.”

“If so, why did you want to meet me?”

“… I want to borrow more power.”

Yoo Hwa-rin expressed her determination.

“What are you going to do with that power?”

“I am… I came to understand ‘fire’ more while staying here.”

Yuhwarin wasn’t just playing around. In order to get closer to the spirit of fire, I tried to understand the concept of ‘fire’ itself.

“Fire gives off light and heat. Those two are essential to humans.”

“However, a fire that cannot be controlled will become angry instead? Don’t you know that you can burn yourself?”

“I know. But now it’s just a fire for me. All I want is a fire for others, a fire big enough to keep everyone safe.”

“Even if I burn myself?”

“… Yes.”

Yuhwarin did not back down. The phoenix leaned toward her.

“You are indeed very similar to us.”

Fire spirits burn themselves. However, it was a ‘natural’ look because it was born like that.

However, Yuhwarin, a human, had the ‘will’ to burn herself.

“I will watch over your will. Hey, give me a name too.”

Secundo Plama liked it.

“Phoenix, put up a wall.”

Yuhwarin gave the second-tier spirit the name Phoenix.

＜As you wish.＞

The firebird flapped its wings in response to her will. The feathers stuck in front of the parasite that rushed at it instantly turned into white flames and became a wall.

“Fitz, make sure you clear this up.”

＜Follow the command.＞

Eventually, following her will, a yellow knight appeared from the white flame.

It engulfed in flames and cut away struggling parasites.

“Sam, are you okay?”

Yuhwarin then turned her eyes to Yiruah, who was surprised. She finally came to her senses and looked back at Yuhwarin.

“Oh, it’s okay. Thank you, Hwarin-ah.”

“I’m glad you’re okay. But those monsters… ?”

Irua pondered for a moment.

Yuhuarin also experienced the Crown Island incident, but did not know about the existence of Lunatic Don.

It was because the association concealed its existence to prevent panic.

‘No matter how much my ability has improved, I can’t tell you.’

Yuhwarin changed beyond recognition, but she was still a student. Irua shook her head at this.

“I don’t know. But those corpses were probably for research by the Veritas Guild.”

“It sounds like you’re the parasitic type.”

It was an easy opponent to deal with with Yuhwarin’s ability. No parasites would remain in the flames of the spirits and would be reduced to ashes.

The parasites that Irua struggled with were quickly sorted out. Instead, the area around the research building was completely burned down, but even Johanna would have to endure that much.

In the meantime, Irua activated the barrier again.

“Sam?”

“Hwarin-ah, there may still be more monsters left. You’d better wait for the rescue team.”

There was no confirmation that all the monsters had been dealt with. However, Yuhwarin turned to the darkened building.

“But… There might be people still alive, right?”

At those words, Irua’s complexion darkened. I couldn’t immediately refute Yuhwarin’s words.

‘Certainly, if the purpose of these parasites is a detection device… .’

There was a good chance that there would be survivors left. However, he could not leave the research building alone or put Yuhwarin in danger.

“Teacher will go see you.”

“Yes?”

“It’s fine. The teacher is good at hiding.”

She forced a smile and turned around.

“Never go outside the barrier. Understand?”

“Ah, okay.”

At Yuhwarin’s words, Irua disappeared into the darkness. Yuhwarin, who was left alone, took a short breath and averted her eyes.

‘I just have to leave.’

She summoned the 4th tier spirit that she used before training, now named ‘Pagos’.

A small red fireball appeared.

“I’ll ask you to scout.”

＜Yeah!＞

Pagos soared into the sky, and Yoo-rin borrowed Pagos’ eyes to examine the surroundings.

‘What is this?’

The Pagos, which continued to rise to scout the surroundings, stopped at some point as if something was blocking them.

＜There is an invisible wall!＞

Yuyurin frowned.

Someone has built barriers throughout the Veritas estate.

‘I’ve had enemies controlling those parasites.’

The power of the Pagos alone could not be broken. It was clear that he would be a formidable opponent if he put such a barrier on the entire estate.

‘Even if the rescue team arrives, it will take a long time.’

Yuhwarin contemplated whether to give orders to Phoenix instead of Pagos. However, before long, the figure of Eruah was caught in her field of vision.

I wondered if there was something wrong with her already coming back, but there was another person by her side.

Yuhwarin confirmed the face, sent Pagos back, and ran outside.

“Ah, Hwarin!”

Next to Irua was Johanna. She explained with a more relieved expression.

“Survivors were rescued by Johanna first. Let’s go out at once.”

“… Did you rescue them?”

Yuhwarin frowned as she tried to leave the barrier.

‘Was the barrier still the same?’

Could it be that only part of it has been overcome? But that was also a bit odd. If you really rescued the survivors, shouldn’t you see the ‘light’ that guides them in the sky?

＜Hwarin, that woman is not human… !＞

At the same time as that question, Phoenix’s voice rang in my head. She immediately summoned Phoenix, which blew flames at Johanna.

“what… !?”

Irua was startled by her sudden attack and hid herself in the shadows.

“Hwarin, you… !”

“Sir, it’s fake!”

Yuhwarin hurriedly cut off the words of Irua, who came out of the shadows. Embarrassed, Iruah looked alternately at Yohanna and Yuhwarin, who were engulfed in flames.

“This is so… What the hell is this?”

Johanna’s voice came from the flames. Then, with a pat, the mud that covered her collapsed, scattering flames all around.

‘What… .’

Only then did Irua notice something strange. When I found Johanna, I didn’t know because I was in a hurry to stop talking.

‘Was Johanna-nim respectful?’

She had never been treated with respect.

Seeing the wary expressions of the two, Johanna let out a laugh.

“Uhm… Where did you get caught?”

“What are you? Then those people… ?”

Irua was confused. She must have seen the survivors that the fake was guiding.

“Oh, is that it? Just in case you didn’t know, these are the kids who tried to set boundaries.”

What she saw were Veritas employees who had been infested by parasites. I was mistaken because I could only see a silhouette in the dark.

“It could have just ended comfortably, but you guys are still working.”

Fake Johanna snorted and formed a magic circle in an instant. Although it looked fake, its magic ability was fast enough to be mistaken for real.

“this… !”

Irua responded immediately, and Yoohwarin also summoned Fanix and Fights to attack in pincers.

“Wriggling is cute.”

But the fakes were laid back.

The black rock wall protruding from the magic circle blocked the white fire, and the flame knight was stranded on the ground that suddenly turned into a swamp.

The magic bullet fired by Irua changed its trajectory with a single finger pointing at her.

“what… .”

“Fitz, come back!”

The complexion of Irua and Yuhwarin darkened.

＜Hwarin, save your mana.＞

Fenix also gave her advice, perhaps feeling the unusualness. It was because he had an intuition that the fight would not end at once.

“Give up now? Then, will you give that body to me?”

Fake Johanna smiled and stepped forward. The two intuited that the barriers in the research building would be ineffective.

“Sam, step back.”

“what?”

Yuhwarin’s normally smiling face stiffened at once. She came up with a solution contrary to Phoenix’s advice.

“Fenix, take care of all incarnations.”

＜… As you wish.＞

As she expressed her will, Fenix quickly covered her body. White flames covered his skin and soon turned into armor.

Then, white wings sprouted from Yuhwarin’s back as if they had been scaled down from Phoenix’s wings, and her hands and feet were also entwined with flames similar to those of birds.

＜I will go.＞

True to the meaning of fire and body becoming one, Yuhwarin descended Phoenix into her body.

In the past, the spirits moved according to Yuhwarin’s will, but now it was the opposite. Using Yuhuarin’s mana as power, Phoenix controlled her.

Although the consumption of mana increased, the spirit was able to express its abilities in earnest.

“Hwarin… .”

Before Eruah could even stop her surprise, her body turned into white flames. The white flames that rushed in in the blink of an eye didn’t even give Johanna a chance to draw a magic circle.

Although Irua, who belatedly followed her eyes, had surprises and hopes.

“Hey, this is a little surprising.”

The fake Johanna was alive and well.

Irua’s eyes twitched.

‘how… !?’

Yuhwarin could not reach her goal and was tied up. What stopped her was the mud that had come out of the bog that had been eating away at Pitts in the first place.

“Did you think you had to draw a magic circle by hand?”

It formed a swamp and had already drawn another magic circle inside it.

“Turn it off… !”

Yuhwarin tried to free herself from the bondage, but the fake Yohanna didn’t just watch it.

“No, no.”

The mud spread and wrapped around Yuyurin like a cocoon. Irua hurriedly used her shadow and tried to aim behind her.

“You can see everything.”

The fake Johanna lightly formed a magic circle with one hand and fired a flash of light to make the shadow disappear for an instant.

At the same time, Irua jumped out of the shadows.

“Ouch!”

It was simpler magic that bound Irua. The telekinesis created by weaving mana like a chain was sufficient.

＜Oops… !＞

In the meantime, Yuhwarin, whose mana was exhausted, returned to her true form. Phoenix was also forcibly returned to the spirit realm and disappeared.

Fake Johanna looked at the two captives with a satisfied smile.

“I wish I had useful memories.”

Her silver hair swayed and moved, then gathered together and turned into black tentacles.

Irua realized that it was like a black thread running through the parasite’s body.

‘no… !’

Yuhwarin seemed to have lost consciousness due to mana exhaustion. Irua tried to release the bondage somehow, but she was too helpless to reach the shadow.

Right then.

“what… .”

A booming roar rang through the sky. Fake Johanna raised her head. Something like a meteor was falling at high speed.

Coincidentally, that direction was right here.

“What is this… !?”

Fake Johanna hurriedly distanced herself and escaped. Immediately, with a thump, the ground cracked as if an earthquake had struck.

Standing above it was an iron man in a suit.

“How can I close the barrier… ?!”

For the first time, fake Johanna showed embarrassment. Of course, it was because the barrier she prepared was made with a complex technique that would take several hours even for the real Johanna to arrive.

“you… ?!”

After being freed from the spell, Irua recognized him. He was the one who avenged the Ubermensch on his behalf.

But the surprises did not stop there.

“Lua, I’ll explain later.”

The voice coming out of the suit wasn’t altered like before. And she knew very well whose voice it belonged to.

“line… Bae?”

“Please take care of Hwarin.”

The iron man, Kang Tae-min, opened the subspace and put the two people in. For the safety of the two, they had no choice but to reveal their identities.

If she hid her identity, Irua would report the situation to Seungju Bae.

Since Pyo Ji-hoon, Pyo Su-ho, and Johanna already knew about the sub-space, it was because he could be identified as the owner of the sub-space.

‘It’s fortunate.’

Yuyurin was unconscious.

If only Irua could keep the secret. She was of the same mind as he was before the return, and even now.

“Wizard? No, I don’t think so. Subspace seems to be an artifact… .”

In the meantime, the fake Yohanna looked at Kang Tae-min and brought out various inferences.

“Um, what… Search your brain and you’ll find out.”

Kang Tae-min looked back at her. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the groundbreaking method she was hoping for.

“Ripped.”

“… what?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Literally, Kang Tae-min did not break the barrier. It was simply ripped with mana.

“you also.”

Kang Tae-min held the rip-and-tear in both hands.

“It will be.”
